When: 29 July 2023 at 2:30 pm
Choir members appeared from the Knutsford Late & Morning choirs. Leading them, was their amazing choir leader Kathryn Davies. Some new choir members were appearing onstage for the very first time! Well done to them! Kathryn said ‘The choir members did so well, everyone was truly professional in their performance and deserved to be up there.’ This was FREE to attend.
It was threatening rain showers before the performance and rain it did through the gig. Some members made a day of it arriving hours before the performance and engaging in a little local retail therapy, additionally there were a few members from other nearby choirs there to help and sing on the day. It was out of this world to see the support of family and friends of the choir members, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The choir performed songs from their recent repertoire such as ‘Loco In Acapulco’ by the Four Tops and ‘Video Killed The Radio Star’ by the Buggles. Many thanks go to the prefects who were there on the day helping.
Performance location: Siddington Village Hall, Congleton Rd, Siddington, SK11 9JR
About the event – While summer fairs are a feature of many a village around the country, few have as beautiful a setting as the Redesmere Fete at Siddington, which includes a unique ceremony at the Lake. The Water Lily Queen leads a procession from the Village Hall, then she is is rowed across the lake to be crowned on the shore by the King of Redesmere, in a custom which is almost 100 years old. The participants are richly costumed and the rowing boat takes the form of a swan, so you can literally watch the Queen swanning around on the water! The coronation arena is next to the Mere on the north side of the water, and the Queen is rowed across for her coronation from the southern shore, after which the procession reforms to make its way back up to the Village Hall. A traditional fete follows with lots of music, entertainments and competitions, plenty of home-made refreshments, and fun for all ages.
